Jeffery Breaux named OF’s New AD

Welcome to Orangefield! 

[Guitar Man]

I’m happy for Coach Breaux and his family. Orangefield is in good hands. I know I’ve spoken against OF going to the spread, but if anyone could install it and get the offense off the ground (literally 😂) it would be him.

This thread will be something to look back on if Orangefield goes spread & goes 6-4 or better in the regular season. 

They would go 6-4 regardless of offense with that schedule and district.  Lots of bold statements here that mean nothing.  By all accounts, this guy is a good coach.

I wish your son the best of luck in his new spread offense, but passing on Jenkins, who did what he did in Harmony in year 1, will be a legendary mistake in the coming years. Orangefield had a chance, but let the Little League Coaches of America get in the way of making a decision that could've advanced the program long term. They will reap what they've sown. 

Little League Coaches of America! Well said! Can’t wait to watch this team attempt to pass block. TD/INT ratio should be interesting.

I'd guess at least 4-5 years, he has a son who will be playing at Lamar and two other sons he would have brought with him - Not sure of their athletic ability. 

His Freshman son 6'3" 198, probably would have been the starting QB if he got the job.

So Annoying

What's annoying is when the whole town gets tagged because of a few idiots.

Jenkins is a good coach but has been in 3 places in 6 years. Need someone that wants to stick around, not just pull chocks whenever he feels like it.

I believe Peveto and Smalley are the only two Orangefield coaches that left on their own terms.

This is probably the primary reason the chirpers above didn't feel like he was a good "fit". Might get in Little Johnny's way of being the first air raid QB in the history of the Orangefield program. Either way, I do not know Coach Breaux, and I wish him the best of luck. I just can't get over the fact that a coach with state championship experience applied for the Orangefield job and didn't get it. That's probably the darndest thing I've ever heard on this site! If they'd do a little research, the reasons he has had so many job changes are understandable and clearly worked to advance his career. His oldest is heading to Lamar and his younger son is about to be a freshman. Sounds like a pretty good shot for, at least, a 4-year term. If he delivers to Orangefield in those 4 years what he has delivered in Harmony in his 2 years there, I promise you the candidates for the job next time would be significantly better than the list they had for this opening. But, hey, we gon' run da spread!!

Tell me you're not acting like gilmer harmony is an under .500 all time team like almost every other school in this area... wrong.

 

I also don't believe Gilmer harmony has a bunch of straight duds like portrayed neither.

The fact that you keep calling them "Gilmer Harmony" tells me all I need to know. Go look at the records, strikingly similar to Orangefield over the past several years. With the exception of the State Title appearance and deep playoff runs they've had in the last two years. Wonder what the difference was in those 2 years? 

[Bobcat1]

Nothing agaisnt Breaux - I don't know him, but if you compare resumes with Jenkins, it's hard for me to understand why OF would pass on him... 

[navydawg31]

Coach Breaux hasn’t even coached 1 game yet OF is counting the man out..

There is no one on here who has said anything negative about Breaux.

Doesn't Breaux have state game experience?

Actually there is on this page, that even you commented on 🤦🏻‍♂️. Plus on the local FB sports page…

Does Coach Breaux get the '7yrs' treatment or not?

Only reason I can think of is the job hopping.

Well, it all depends on where OF's success bar is.  But, from what I'm seeing from a few here he's got nothing to worry about!  (Grin)

Can you quote it, I must have not read it as negative.

What exactly are you implying? That Jenkins was a “no go” because he was bringing in a QB like Sanders at Colorado?

He has a son that is a going to be a freshman and is a QB. OF already has starting QB that started as a freshman last year. If they bring him in you know he would want his kid to be the QB. That would not sit well with the community because the freshman starter is very well liked by the players and community. OF community is very tight knitted. That’s probably a big reason they shied away from him.

Or maybe this guy wasn't well known and Breaux has shown success locally and people know more about him than they got from a couple interviews.
